Are you going to take her with you or not Darius? yeesh
"Yes." He maintained a serious face to cover up for the lie he was about to tell. "Before I lay a single finger on you, my wife has to approve of your presence in the castle."

It would have been slightly better if it was a different daughter, but Constance was his most favored daughter and he had thought she had a brain in her head.

seems like he wants a hostage, not another wife.
"My new bride should not be an issue. I'm sure she will accept Constance and treat her like a sister. She's a kind woman." He lied. There was nothing kind about Delaney. Fine, maybe she was a little kind, at least to her maids, but there was no way she would treat his new concubine as a sister when the old ones drove her nuts.

"I don't think we should investigate the border."

her parents are actually the demons!
"We missed you too, my lady. Her Majesty was a nightmare."

backstabbing little weasel
Reaching the dining table, she schooled her expression to appear fearful as she repeated Delaney's words. "Her Highness said that if you are in such a hurry, you should help her dress up."
Fantasy · Avalorian_
His lips twitched. "Her parents can't wait to kill her, yet she went through so much trouble and nearly died for their sake. Humans are twisted."

umm...
"So what if she becomes a queen?" The counsellor huffed. "She will still be good for nothing. Women are only good for lifting their skirts."

Trying to save an entire country isn't really a tantrum though? 🤔
She placed it on the table. "Eat. Don't expect me to serve you like I answer to you." She glared hatefully at Delaney. "Princesses are the reason women like me suffer so much and all for what? We pay with our lives when women like you want to throw golden tantrums at your husbands."

ohhh... now it makes sense
Kyrah smiled with a shrug. "And he infuriates me sometimes. Sons aren't easy to raise. See you on our rock when you get back."

"I'll let you in on a secret." Kyrah inched closer to hush her tone. "I don't think it's a coincidence that King Darius' concubines are all dancers. Whenever he selects a new concubine, he does so by letting young maidens dance for him and chooses the best of them."

Darius rested his head on his hand to glance at Delaney. "She looks good in red, don't you think?"

Jessica was horrified but she couldn't defy her lady, so she helped her dress up in the red gown.

She was horrified just thinking about it. The best that could happen was him being compelled by the seal to stop his planned attack. However, there was also a high chance that she would be caught and beheaded. She didn't mind dying if her people would be safe but he might just be able to nullify the decree. Besides, the ring was always on his finger. Was there a way to steal it aside from sleeping with him?

*he grabbed
"Your Majesty?" She grabbed her wrist and pulled her right beside him. His arm was around her shoulders before she could slip away.

Kyrah thought for a while and winked. "I know a way to make him crazy about you. If you order him to give you the whole kingdom, he will do exactly that and conquer the neighboring kingdoms for you as well."

typo, "chance to"
"Fancy seeing you here. Are you here to pay me a special visit?" Bernadette was on her way when she saw the stunned Delaney and took it as a change to ruffle her feathers.

"His Majesty is planning to attack Ivrasea." He said, and then he was gone in a flash without waiting for her response.
Fantasy · Avalorian_
Delaney held back a scoff. "Years? She is so patient." She didn't wait for Jessica to figure out what she had just said before she continued down the path to the concubines' wing. Then she saw the man she least wanted to see. The fox.

For a minute, she stood there, watching little bubbles floating in the air, and her eyes widened in curiosity. As if that was not enough to lure her, the smell of hot food being sold at some stalls wafted in the air, and in this frigid weather, the aroma was extra enticing.
